News: The end of Wishes! (5/11) The start of Happily Ever After (5/12), Opening of Pandora (5/27)
Travel tip of the week: Did you know that the Magic Kingdom is set up like a large wheel with Cinderella's Castle in the center surrounded by the many magical lands? Most people upon entering the park go down Main Street and head to the right toward Tomorrowland. On your next visit, especially if entering early in the day - go to the left and start in Adventureland. You may find the crowd levels to be lower and enjoy some extra rides and lower wait times.
Travel Tips: Navigating around or using extra magic hours.
